In addition to receiving efficient and health-friendly profiles, by buying LaptopMedia's products you also support the development of our labs, where we test devices in order to produce the most objective reviews possible.
Office Work
Office Work should be used mostly by users who spend most of the time looking at pieces of text, tables or just surfing. This profile aims to deliver better distinctness and clarity by keeping a flat gamma curve (2.20), native color temperature and perceptually accurate colors.
Design and Gaming
This profile is aimed at designers who work with colors professionally, and for games and movies as well. Design and Gaming takes display panels to their limits, making them as accurate as possible in the sRGB IEC61966-2-1 standard for Web and HDTV, at white point D65.
Health-Guard
Health-Guard eliminates the harmful Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) and reduces the negative Blue Light which affects our eyes and body. Since it’s custom tailored for every panel, it manages to keep the colors perceptually accurate. Health-Guard simulates paper so the pressure on the eyes is greatly reduced.

Lenovo Legion 5i (16", Gen 9) in-depth review
The Legion gaming devices are well-known for their good gaming capabilities (or at least in most cases). Today we will show you the Lenovo Legion 5i (16", Gen 9) that is offered with 55W Intel Raptor Lake-HX or HX Refresh CPU options. Everything looks good in the GPU department because the machine can be found with GeForce RTX 4000 graphics cards with hefty TGPs.Since this laptop isn't part of the "Slim" lineup, Lenovo has fitted a massive thermal system under the bonnet to cool the powerful and thirsty internals. The device isn't super light and thin because it's meant for serious gaming.[...]
